Hi Maria,
You’re welcome.
I’m always coming across new East Asia blogs so I expect the blog roundup will continue to grow over the coming months. I have to admit it takes quite a lot of time to work my way through all of the blogs currently listed in the blogroll but it’s an enjoyable task. I might have to consider starting a mid-week blog roundup at the rate that the blogroll is growing..
